About The Event
A bang is an event during which fic writers pitch an idea, and then are teamed up with an artist to create an illustrated fic.
A reverse bang is a bang where an artist comes up with the prompt: the author writes the fic based on that idea.
A mini bang is different from usual (“big”) bangs only in the requirements: fics are shorter, and the art is less complex.
So if all the below details are tl;dr at first, how should you imagine a reverse Minibang?

Sign-ups
For sign-ups, you only need to bring yourself! It's about 5 questions and 2 of those is if you've read the rules.
Betas and Pinch hitters
These roles are optional, which means you'll be contacted if a team is looking for someone, and you can decide to take it or leave it on a case-by-case basis.
How are the teams formed?
Artist will submit their prompt(s) (up to 3) through a form. After the submission period is over, authors will be able to choose the prompts they'd like to work with.
Mods will do the final matching based on these, to make sure everyone gets paired up.
